Walter Mosley, author of more than 25 books, read sections of his latest book "This Year You Write Your Novel" to a packed house at the Elliott Bay Bookstore in downtown Seattle last weekend, on April 22. Mosley, who is very popular in Seattle, visited the city for the first time in 1990 and has been back numerous times to promote his books. Mosley is the author of the Easy Rawlins mysteries, "Devil in the Blue Dress," which was turned into a Hollywood movie starring Denzel Washington, and others. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the O. Henry Award, the Sundance Institute's Risktaker Award and Carl Brandon Society's Parallax Award.

The original series centered on the Salinger family whose parents died in a car accident. The new show will follow the Acosta children as they work through an unsettling future when their parents are abruptly deported to Mexico.
